Play Online Tripeaks Solitaire

Have you ever stumbled across a deck of cards arranged into three little mountain peaks and thought, “What now?” That’s exactly the setup for Tripeaks Solitaire, a laid-back twist on the classic patience game that’s as easy to learn as it is hard to put down. You start with eighteen cards face-up in a triangular formation, plus a draw pile. The goal is simple: clear as many cards as you can by flipping over cards one rank higher or lower than the one showing on your discard pile.

Once you get rolling, Tripeaks moves pretty quickly. You can only remove cards that aren’t covered by others, so there’s a satisfying puzzle element in choosing which peak to tackle first. Every time you get stuck, you draw a new card from the deck and keep going. Some versions even let you loop from King to Ace and back to give you a lifeline when you’re out of moves. The fewer draws you use, the higher your score, so there’s always that little thrill of trying to clean up all three peaks in one smooth run.

What really hooks you is that sweet balance of luck and strategy. You might clear a whole peak in a chain of moves, then suddenly hit a wall and have to rethink your approach. Watching those cards cascade off the table gives a tiny burst of joy every time, and the replay factor is huge—you always want to beat your last score. Whether you’re sneaking in a quick round during a coffee break or zoning out for a longer session, Tripeaks Solitaire has this chill, open-ended rhythm that keeps you coming back for just one more game.
